Liposuction in Kopar Khairane, Navi Mumbai

Liposuction is cosmetic surgery that removes stubborn fat from specific areas, such as the tummy, thighs or arms, through small cuts using a thin tube (cannula). It improves body shape but is not a weight-loss treatment. At Apex Multispeciality Hospital, Kopar Khairane, liposuction is performed by MCh plastic surgeons in a hospital operation theatre.

Who is suitable?

Adults close to a healthy, stable weight
Fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise
Good general health and firm skin
Realistic expectations

Liposuction does not treat obesity, cellulite or loose skin. People with significant weight to lose should discuss other options.

The procedure

Consultation, health checks and marking of the areas.
Anaesthesia: general or regional, depending on the areas.
Fluid is injected to reduce bleeding, and fat is suctioned through small cuts.
A compression garment is fitted.

Recovery

Swelling and bruising are normal and settle over weeks. Most people return to desk work in about 1 to 2 weeks. The compression garment is worn for several weeks. The final shape can take several months to appear.

Risks

Risks include bruising, fluid collection, infection, uneven contour, numbness, blood clots and, rarely, serious complications such as fat embolism or injury to internal organs. Choosing a qualified plastic surgeon working in a hospital with anaesthesia and ICU support reduces risk.

Realistic expectations: results vary from person to person, and no cosmetic treatment can guarantee a specific outcome. Your doctor will explain what is realistic for you before you decide.
